The practical explanation of Krishna consciousness is generally known as karma-yoga, which can give liberation to the living entity. To work in krsna consciousness is to work with the complete knowledge of the Lord as the predominator. Such work is not different from transcendental knowledge. Direct Krishna consciousness is bhakti-yoga and jnana-yoga is the path leading to bhakti-yoga.
A pure soul is the eternal servant of God as his fragmental part and parcel. He comes in contact with Maya (illusion) due to the desire to Lord it over Maya, and that is the cause of his many sufferings.
As long as he is in contact with matter, he has to execute work in terms of material necessities; Krishna consciousness however, brings one into spiritual life even while one is within the jurisdiction of matter, for it is an arousing of spiritual existence by practice in the material world. The more one is advanced, the more he is freed from the clutches of matter. The Lord is not partial towards anyone.
Everything depends on one’s practical performance in Krishna consciousness, which helps one control the senses in every aspect and conquer the influence of desire and anger, and one who stands fast in Krishna consciousness, controlling the above mentioned passion, remains factually in the transcendental stage.
The eight fold of yoga mysticism is automatically practiced in Krishna consciousness because the ultimate purpose is served. There is a gradual process of elevation in the practice of yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and Samadhi. But these only preface perfection by devotional service, which alone can award peace to the human being.
The conditioned souls within the clutches of illusory energy are well anxious to attain peace in the material world. But they do not know the formula for peace, which is explained in the part of bhagavad-gita. The greatest peace formula is simply this; Lord krsna is the beneficiary in all human activities. Men should offer everything to the transcendental service of the Lord because he is the proprietor of all planets and the demigods thereon. No one is greater than the greatest of the demigods, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma.
Under the spell of illusion, living entity is trying to be the Lords of all they survey, but actually they are dominated by the material energy of the Lord. The Lord is the master of the material nature, and the conditioned souls are under the stringent rules of the material nature. Unless one understands these bare facts, it is not possible to achieve peace in the world either individually or collectively. This is the sense of Krishna consciousness.
Lord Krishna is the supreme predominator, and all the living entities, including the great demigods, are his subordinates. One can attain perfect peace only in complete Krishna consciousness.
